Summary

Whether you're a teenager figuring out who your people are, a young adult navigating new cities and shifting circles, or someone in midlife or beyond wondering what happened to the closeness you once felt - 'How to Be a Friend (In an Unfriendly World)' is for you. The book meets you where you are and offers a drop of joy. Originally developed from a Columbia University master's course for psychologists, it's written in warm, accessible prose for anyone who's ever asked: What does it really mean to show up for someone? In a fractured, distracted world, people aren't looking for another productivity hack. They're craving something real. How to Be a Friend is that invitation. It is not a quick fix, or a lecture, but a grounded reminder of what friendship can be. It doesn't preach. It reminds us gently, and with lasting impact.
